Butterflies Everywhere

Hard to tell if there are so many butterflies because of the mild winter, the early spring, or because it is my second year here and we have tons of blooms on everything from the lilacs, weigela, pincushion flowers, dame's rocket, azalea, and salvia... either way, the butterflies are flying around everywhere- to the point where I feel like I'm going crash into them! A few pictures to share!

About "I Love My Garden"

I can tell you agapanthus grew under my window when I was a mere 5 years old, and I pruned my grandma's roses from the time I was old enough to avoid thorns, but it took me until I was in my 20's to face gardening as my passion. I've now got more than a decade under my belt- most of which was spent in southern Wisconsin. I am now going on my third season gardening in north central Minnesota, in zone 4a. I care for roses, grow perennials, annuals, edibles, herbs, make miniature gardens and grow several tropicals I overwinter indoors in my basement. I'm on a tightish budget, so I'm pretty frugal & full of ideas. I'm also an amatuer birdwatcher. Blog posts will be accompanied by my amatuer photography whenever possible. Research is something I enjoy, so feel free to ask me questions, I will find the answer. Welcome to the garden I love.
